About this video
In this series of sessions, Omid Keshvari, hosted by Mohammad Kazem Barzegar, provides a commentary on and examines the article 'A Modern Defense of Religious Authority' by Linda Trinkaus Zagzebski. Zagzebski, a contemporary American philosopher, attempts in this article to offer a philosophical and modern defense of the concept of religious authority and to reinterpret it within the framework of epistemology and the philosophy of religion.
In this commentary, Keshvari elucidates Zagzebski's main arguments and demonstrates how the concept of authority can be understood in relation to modern rationality and religious tradition. The discussion of the nature of authority, its relationship to knowledge, the possibility of justifying religious authority in the modern age, and its differences from authoritarianism are among the main themes of these sessions.
This series is an opportunity for those interested in the philosophy of religion, epistemology, and contemporary thought to become acquainted with one of the most important philosophical defenses of religious authority in analytic philosophy and to find a new horizon for thinking about the relationship between religion and rationality.
